title: A 1,8-naphthyridine-based fluorescent chemodosimeter for the rapid detection of Zn2+ and Cu2+.
abstract: A novel fluorescent chemodosimeter based on 1,8-naphthyridine exhibits high selectivity to Zn(2+) and Cu(2+). When 1-(7-acetamino-1,8-naphthyridyl)-2-(6-diacetaminopyridyl)ethene was mixed with CuCl2, hydrolysis of the acetamino group catalyzed by Cu(2+) complex was first observed. Resulting from coordination and hydrolysis catalyzed by the corresponding complex of Zn(2+) or Cu(2+), the highly effective fluorescent detection of Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) is realized with Zn(2+)-selective dual-emission and Cu(2+)-selective ON-OFF behavior.
